Thanks a lot for testing it. I had already reconsidered this and
decided that I don't really like patches that do two things at once,
i.e., the "CPU addr fixup" patch both fixes the CPU addr thing and
fixes the NULL pointer dereference as an unintended side effect.

So I ended up putting your original patch on for-linus, then rebasing
pci/host-designware on top of for-linus. That way we have your simple
patch for v4.11 that fixes the NULL pointer problems, and the CPU addr
fixups will go in v4.12 along with the rest of that series. It's much
ado about nothing, really, and could go either way.
